PETALING JAYA: It was a sight to behold when Albiceleste fever hit a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, which was packed with people clad in the blue-and-white striped jerseys of the Argentinian football team, hoping to catch a glimpse of Diego Maradona.

This happened during the launch of the Boby & Maradona Gold Diamond Jewellery outlet on May 30, 2015, a business venture between the Argentine football legend and Indian jewellery tycoon Boby Chemmanur.
